Tom Joyner founder of Reach Media Inc., the Tom Joyner Foundation, Black America Web.com, and host of the nationally syndicated “Tom Joyner Morning Show”, is one of the most influential, inspirational, and dynamic personalities in the country.

This 1999 Hall of Fame inductee from Tuskegee, Alabama has ignited a sense of pride in the hearts of eight million listeners in more than 115 radio markets, instilling in us the significance of unity and giving back to one’s community.

Tom Joyner began his broadcasting career in Montgomery, Alabama at WRMA-AM immediately after graduation.  With a Bachelor of Science in Sociology in hand, he ventured into several other markets, includng WLOK-AM in Memphis, KWK-AM in St. Louis, KKDA-FM in Dallas, and four different stations in Chicago.

In the mid-1980′s Joyner made his claim to fame when he accepted simultaneous positions as “Morning Drive Man” at Dallas’ KKDA and “Afternoon Drive Man” at Chicago’s WGCI.  Flying everyday between the two cities to work eventually earned him national recognition, with the name “FlyJock”, seven million frequent flyer miles, syndication and undoubtedly the largest audience of any urban radio program.

When it comes to entertaining, enlightening and educating, no one in talk radio compares to Michael Baisden. His high-octane energy and love for interacting with his listeners is just one reason for the popularity and success of The Michael Baisden Show. As one of today’s most provocation personalities, Michael drives discussion with explosive episodic themes like: Living Your Dream, Your Body Is Your Temple, and Pimps In The Pulpit. His radio career began in 2003 when 98.7 KISS FM in New York City offered him a position as the afternoon drive-time host. Because of budget constraints the station was unable to offer him a salary. Michael’s response was, “Just give me the damned mic!” And sure enough, within six months, their afternoon drive ratings went from number 9 to number 1. After eight months of consistent high ratings, Michael suggested taking his show national but management was apprehensive, suggesting that New York wasn’t ready. “There was no doubt in my mind that I could have one of the hottest shows on radio! I knew the impact it would have on people all across the country and I wasn’t taking no, for an answer,” Michael rebutted.
